Welcome letter

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is with our great honour and pleasure that we extend to all of you the most cordial invitation to the 37th International Union against Sexually Transmitted Infections (IUSTI) Europe Congress to take place in Zagreb, Croatia, from September 11 to 14, 2024.

The 37th IUSTI-Europe Congress is an exceptional opportunity for the exchange of the scientific ideas, knowledge, and experience among colleagues dedicated to sexually transmitted diseases and genital dermatology from across Europe and World. The lecturers that have already accepted our invitation definitely represent a distinguished group of internationally renowned professionals, including dermatologists, gynaecologists, infectologists, microbiologists, urologists, proctologists, epidemiologists, sexual health professionals etc. It is our great privilege that we have developed  a very close collaboration with all of them through many previous congresses, joint projects, multicentre studies, registries, the creation of new guidelines etc. But…much more than only this, many of the world-renown experts in the field of STIs have become our good friends meanwhile, based also on the warm, friendly, open and sincere atmosphere characteristic for our Congresses and IUSTI Europe in general. Thus, we assure you that each of you wishing to share your experience and, at the same time get some new insight into the dynamical and challenging field of STIs today would benefit by joining us at this outstanding Congress!

Besides, we feel free to remind you that this is officially the greatest annual STIs event in Europe taking into account many different aspects of various STIs, HIV infection/AIDS and genital dermatoses on one place, under the “umbrella” of long-lasting tradition of IUSTI Europe…measuring in decades.

We also assure you that the traditional Croatian hospitality awaits you in our capital city Zagreb…the Middle-European “boutique” city with the unique “Southern breeze” at the same time, presenting itself in the best possible atmosphere in September, the most suitable time to visit Zagreb and experience its dynamic, vibrant, but also relaxing charm. The Congress Organizing and Scientific Committee will do their utmost to create an unforgettable professional and social atmosphere for every participant.

We definitely anticipate an exciting scientific program and lively discussions. We are looking forward to your valuable presence and contribution!

Don’t miss this chance!

Awaiting you in Zagreb this September! Most cordially welcome!
